...announcing his appointments, the President gave no indication that the Attorney General's role or opinions will be similar to those of his predecessor. Ball was originally chosen to supervise U.S. policy toward Western Europe, particularly in relation to the Common Market, and in the past few years he has assumed the role of a "devil's advocate" on Vietnam. Since Katzenbach joined the Kennedy Administration in 1961 his views on foreign affairs have not been voiced in public. It is thus difficult to estimate the possible impact of his opinions on Johnson's policies. Still, Katzenbach's lobbying experience...
...accent has indeed been on crushing. Within a week of their introduction, the Guards were on the rampage in Peking, roughing up Chinese in Western dress, changing street signs to "revolutionary" names, and humiliating Franciscan nuns. The Guards aimed not only at rooting out all foreign influence in Mao's China but also at obliterating China's own preCommunist past. Nor was that all.

Charging in for their share, American oil and rubber companies are faring reasonably well against entrenched competition...
Goerner has succeeded, he says, where the U.S. Navy failed. Financed by CBS, the Scripps newspaper chain, the San Mateo (Calif.) Times and the Associated Press, he made four trips to the islands of the western Pacific to gather evidence of evildoing. In 1960, he returned from the Pacific with a bagful of airplane parts dredged out of Saipan harbor. These, he believed, were the remains of Earhart's twin-engined Lockheed Electra.* No such luck; the collection turned out to be parts from a Japanese plane. In 1964, Goerner got a flash of headlines by producing seven pounds...
